Keith Flint - The Lollies

Monsieur Gainsbourg Revisited is a tribute album to the works of late French singer/songwriter Serge Gainsbourg. First released on Virgin Records in 2006, it consists of English language cover versions of Gainsbourg songs, performed by a diverse array of contemporary artists. Gainsbourg's former wife, Jane Birkin, sang on one track. The album charted in France (#8), Switzerland (#23) and Belgium (#6 Wa, #29 Vl). By the time of his death in 1991 Serge Gainsbourg was a French national institution, as beloved for his outrageous behaviour in public (often drunk, always in a haze of Gitane smoke) as for his music. Now his continuing influence on les anglo-saxons is marked by a new CD of his songs performed by his admirers - including Franz Ferdinand, Jarvis Cocker and Tricky.

Apparently Keith Flint recorded his version of Serge Gainsbourg - Les Sucettes but it didn't make to the final release. Some years ago MP3 was leaked online but it didn't gain much attention among The Prodigy fans.

The Gainsbourg estate's considerable royalties income, and the approval of Gainsbourg-related projects, are in the hands of the artist's four children, the products of the singer's three major relationships: Natacha and Paul Ginsburg, the children of his youthful sweetheart Elisabeth, whom he left at the first hint of show-business success; Charlotte, his daughter with Jane Birkin; and Lulu, the child of his last partner, Bambou. Unfortunately, they don't all see eye to eye, hence the problems with the new CD. "Natacha and Paul don't approve of the constant emphasis of their father's risqué Gainsbarre side," says Jean-Daniel Beauvallet. "They hated the new 'Je T'Aime' - they said Serge would never have approved a lesbian version." The day was eventually saved by scholarship: the discovery of an obscure Japanese cover version from the 70s, by two girl singers, in effect a Japanese lesbian 'Je T'Aime' (triple points) which Gainsbourg, Jane Birkin could affirm, had loved. Bingo.

The Natacha and Paul veto was not lifted, however, from another track. This was a version of "Les Sucettes" (The Lollipops), the song which naughty old Serge famously put in the demure teenage mouth of the debutante France Gall, and which was "revisited" by Keith Flint, of the Prodigy. A great track, apparently, with a wild string section playing the parts of all the instruments. So why was it shelved - the point about "Les Sucettes" was surely its lack of explicitness, the double entendre being in the ear of the listener? "Well, it was the licking noises that Keith put in," says Beauvallet. Flint's lascivious slurping, it appears, tipped the balance of probability too far away from the consumption of confectionery and the Ginsburg thumbs went down. Tant pis.

("Les Sucettes" ("Lollipops") is a French pop song written by Serge Gainsbourg and first recorded by France Gall in 1966. One of Gall's biggest hits, it was an unusually risqué song for its time, though in performing it she was unaware of the fact. Gainsbourg recorded his own version, with a psychedelic arrangement, on the 1969 album Jane Birkin/Serge Gainsbourg.)

The Prodigy‘s long time live drummer Leo Crabtree led a tribute to Keith Flint at the NME Awards 2020, last night.

Flint, who took his own life in March 2019, was celebrated with an award in his name at the ceremony, which was preceded by an extended video montage showing some of the most iconic moments from his legendary career.

Jilted Generations: An Underground Tribute To The Prodigy

Here is the release info for this tribute which was released on 17th September 2019 which would have been Keith's 50th birthday.

Keith Charles Flint was an English vocalist, dancer, and occasional motorcycle racer, best known to a wide audience for his work with the seminal electronic group The Prodigy. Beginning as a backup dancer with the group, Flint would later become a frontman for The Prodigy by 1996, lending his appearances as a songwriter and vocalist to some of their biggest commercial hits, such as "Firestarter", "Breathe", "Baby's Got A Temper", and "Omen". Flint's iconic punk-inspired appearance became indelibly associated with the group through their music videos, and almost certainly played a major role in The Prodigy's mainstream success, and legacy as a key influence in the subgenres of big beat, breakbeat, and hardcore dance.

On March 4th, 2019, Keith Flint was found dead in his Essex home of a suspected suicide, as The Prodigy was in the midst of a major world tour. A massive outpouring of grief and tribute from peers such as The Chemical Brothers, Liam Gallagher, Azealia Banks, Gary Numan, Ho99o9, Frank Turner, and many more soon followed. These tributes reflected not just on the major influence and contributions Flint had made via The Prodigy, but of his gentle temperment, wide-reaching generosity, and warmth as an individual, in sharp contrast to his aggressive stage persona.

With "Jilted Generations: An Underground Tribute To The Prodigy", we hope to show our love as well.

Who are we? Just a loose collection of underground electronic and industrial musicians who want to pay tribute to the long-lasting legacy of Keith Flint, and have come together with 12 hard-hitting covers of tracks by The Prodigy to show our appreciation for the man and his enduring influence on music.

Jim Pavloff remixes Need Some1

Jim Pavloff who has been famously recreating many classic Prodigy tracks on You Tube has been given opportunity to remix The Prodigy's newest single Need Some1. It's really nice to see that Liam and the co. gives some recognition to him that he really deserves!

The remix itself has a nice original and oldskool vibe in it. All other remixes have been so generic that this one really stands out!

The Prodigy finally releases a new track!

The track is 'Need Some1' and it has been already available on some online music services but not in Spotify. Track is short (2:41) and bit repeatable but you still can recognize Liam Howlett's trademark production style.

Liam posted a pic from studio with the new Roland TB-03 Bass line synth. TB-03 is a direct descendant of the famous TB-303 Bass Line Synth which is especially famous of it's acid sounds.

The Prodigy played their first gig after Rob Holliday left the band in ZÜRICH OPENAIR, Switzerland. Olly Burden from the band Hounds was the new guitarist for that gig. It's not yet sure if he will be permanent guitarist for the band but at least we know that he has been working with Liam with new stuff on studio. Olly has been in the studio together with Liam on last albums and credited on co-writing on "Wall of Death".

The Prodigy returned to Russia with no new music

The Prodigy retuned to Russia and played 4 nights with their standard set. This is no surprise for fans but some would have hoped a lot more since Liam has been constantly saying that there will be at least new beats comin' (if not whole new tunes). I personally feel a bit sorry for the Russian Warriors since they are really dedicated and hardcore fans and would have deserved something special. The band got more than 70 songs (not to include all b-sides and remixes) to choose from and they still play nearly same set than they have been playing years. Is it a too much to ask a little bit of variation? That might actually give some freshness and new ideas to the band also.

As nothing new and exciting isn't really happening I have started to update and build up the Articles section. The plan is to archive the good old days and all that glory from the past years. Now I also have a separate sections for english, finnish, japanese and russian articles & scans!

So fans, please help if you got something to share with the other warriors out there!

No new music but limited edition action figures

The fans are eagerly waiting The Prodigy to drop some new music finally on 2017 as Liam Howlett has
promised. Early this week Liam teased us on Instagram with "The Prodigy Rave Heroes" photo. Some
fans had hopes for a new EP but as most commented on to the photo that might not the case. Well yes,
instead of new music The Prodigy announced an exclusive limited edition art figures collection with award
winning British Artist RYCA (aka Ryan Callanan).

RYCA is well known for his series of hip hop legends including figures of biggie, 2pac and eazy-e which led
him to approach the band to make his ‘rave heroes’ collection. And as we know Liams love to
action heroes and studio "pets" this was a collaboration to happen sooner or later.

The partnership resulted in the creation of a strictly limited, hand sculpted set of chrome-plated
3.75” scale art figures featuring band members Liam Howlett, Keith Flint and Maxim.

Highly collectible, Ryca has produced a limited edition of 250 sets using styling clay and modelling wax
to produce a silicone mould from which resin casts are made.

In addition to these there are 10 sets gilded in 23.5ct gold leaf, not available for purchase anywhere,
but sent out at random to ten buyers of the original 250 sets of art figures sold.

The boxes feature backdrop artwork from the band’s live shows and are silkscreened and hand printed
for each spot colour. Every box is individually numbered and hand signed by Liam, Keith, Maxim and Ryca.

RYCA (Ryan Callanan) is an award winning artist based in Essex, UK. Already a prominent artist on the
street Art scene, the last three years have seen Ryan move away from this aesthetic towards a new practice
that draws upon his in-depth knowledge of materials and craftsmanship acquired through his training in
industrial model making and 3-D design.

On teaming up with Prodigy RYCA said “The Prodigy have been the soundtrack in my life since I
was playing with action figures, I'm now immortalising my rave heroes as art toys ...”.

Everybody In The Place (Leeroy Thornhill Edit)

Leeroy Thornhill has surprised us all and made a fresh remix of The Prodigy classic. His brand new edit of Everybody In The Place is available on his Sound Cloud.

The Prodigy remixed Iggy Pop's Lust for Life for T2: Trainspotting

A tracklist from the soundtrack of upcoming Trainspotting sequel T2: Trainspotting, leaked on Amazon. And yes, it will feature new music from The Prodigy!

Liam teased fans on Instagram when he first previewed their remix back in 2016. Iggy’s original version featured prominently in the original 1996 film but now it has been given a violent reboot courtesy of The Prodigy, while Underworld’s ‘Born Slippy’ has been reimagined also.

While the official Trainspotting social accounts have yet to confirm the news, one thing for certain is that Wolf Alice will make an appearance, since their Silk track features in the T2 trailer.

Wild Frontier 23/2/2015

The Prodigy has announced that they will release a new single on 23.2.2015. The track will be premiered again on Zane Lowe show on BBC 1. Now lets cross our fingers that Liam can surprise us again.

27th January 2015

The Day is My Enemy to the rescue!

The Day is My Enemy track was surprisingly previewed and released yesterday. Zane Lowe played
track THREE
times in a row in his radio show on BBC 1. After that the song was released on
theprodigy.com and iTunes.
This imminent release was probably because Nasty release wasn't really a big success. The
track was indeed
really poor choice for a first single and Liam might have noticed that too. Shame that this
happened a
little too late and damage was already done. Nasty is really lacking all the energy Prodigy
is known for.
The Day is My Enemy is in the other hand better comeback track. It's dark and angry. Really
a slap in the
face it should be. Industrial sounds with Always Outnumbered styled vocals. A REAL SICK
BANGER! Hooray for
LIAM!

12th January 2015

Watch Nasty video

Video for Nasty is now at youtube. To be honest this track really needs this kind of strong and powerful video to promote it. This wasn't really the bomb that I and other fans were expecting because high the Prodigy standards. Anyway better than this EDM shit out there now and THE PRODIGY IS DEFINITELY BACK. Hopefully the album will bring us more "violent sounding tracks" like Liam has told in many interviews already.

5th January 2015

The Day is My Enemy is The Prodigy's new album title!

New album title and cover artwork has been finally revealed. The Day Is My Enemy, The
Prodigy's 6th Studio
Album will be released 30th March 2015.

Nasty is The Prodigy's new single!

Last night Spor aka Feed Me played his own remix of Nasty at Worcester Palladium in his Dj
set. Recordings
of that are already floating around the net. You can hear Keith's vocals, some ethnic melody
and even a
snippet of Eagle Break. With that very same break Liam used to tease his instagram followers
when they were
recording new album at Sarm studios.

Edit 29.12. Liam Howlett has now officially confirmed that
Nasty will
be the first single and released in January 2015!

15th December 2014

Will Spor remix The Prodigy's forthcoming single?

New Album Release Date & some new track names revealed

In the October issue of Q Magazine Liam & the band are interviewed at the studio. Liam
also reveals
some of the track names. The album will be released in February 2015. Tracks names revealed:
Beyond The
Death Ray, Ibiza, Nasty Nasty, Get Your Fight On, Wall of Death & Rottweiler.

"Wall of Death is off-the-Richter-scale terror techno, bearing the command 'Fuck you and the
heart
attack'. The albums one cinematic breather is 'Beyond the Death Ray' where the rhythm drops,
allowing a
futuristic Blade Runner soundscape to build to critical mass" - Q Magazine

Liam Howlett produces D.O.G

New Prodigy album is on the way

Toazted.com has got an interview from Liam, Keith and Maxim at on the 2005 Lowlands festival where The Prodigy was one of the headlining acts. They talked about the new album that will probably see the light of day late next year.

When Toazted.com reporter Paul asked the guys about a new album just before the great show on the main stage, this was the answer we got;

"It's cooking now. We've done 3 bits of music now. It should be out the end of next year. We play 4 new tunes in our set already. On the new album, the fundament will stay the same. Bass, beats and Bullocks. It's kinda what goes on top. The new album is gonna be more melodic."

The guys also told toazted.com about a greatest hits album they will release in October 2005 It's going to be a double album; one cd with their main hits and one with live material, rare releases and remixes.

The new Prodigy album is finished!

The long awaited follow up to The Prodigy's 1997 Fat Of The Land album was showcased in London Thursday. Clips of six songs were played, ’Girlz’, ’Get Up Get Off’, ’Wake Up’, ’Ice’, ’1.9.6.5’ and ’Hotride’.

'Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned' is now almost finished, and scheduled for a release in August this year.

Produced by Liam Howlett the new tracks have a full on sexy, dirty beat with any vocals way down in the mix and no immediately obvious contribution from Keith Flint as frontman.

The new material NME.COM heard was almost industrial in sound, and a marked difference to ’Baby’s Got A Temper’.

Liam told to nekozine.co.uk: "This album is about reminding people what the Prodigy was always about - the beats and the music. The vocals on this record are mostly used as an extension of the sound rather than the main focal point. like 'Jilted' (1994's 'Music For The Jilted Generation') , Keith (Flint) and Maxim weren't involved musically and they are not on this album. ALL three of us will be together to do what we do and play this record live and rock it later in the year, we can't fuckin' wait!

"You will probably begin to hear stuff early summer and the new album will hit in August. "
